    More than 75,000 requests were made by police forces around the world for data on Microsoft users in 2012.

    The figures were revealed in Microsoft's first transparency report which detailed how often police forces sought data to aid investigations.

    US police forces topped the list of agencies keen to know who created specific images or other content.

    In most cases, Microsoft only handed over basic information such as login names and IP addresses.
